In Michel’s family, everything revolves around hunting. You hunt for pleasure, to get together, and because it’s a tradition. Family memories and relations are woven into this activity. But Michel is getting old and the hunters’ universe is at odds with modern society. Which of his two sons will continue the tradition? Caught between girlfriends, who challenge the norms of masculinity, and the competition of other fields of interest, the family’s heritage seems at risk.
